2 Responses to Did you forget your adminexile key (Joomla)

This is the most common support question I receive, and I've come up with an easy process to recover. Because many users aren't comfortable interacting directly with their database (many have no idea how to do this) I have a process that involves only file manipulation.

1. browse using FTP (or other file manager)2. rename the plugin file /plugins/system/adminexile/adminexile.php (add an X or something to the filename)3. browse to /administrator and disable the plugin4. rename the file back to adminexile.php5. re-configure the plugin
